Institut francais

El Institut franco-japonaisàYokohama tiene una historia larga que fecha atrás más de 50 años. There exist a few such institutes across Japan, but I will introduce the Yokohama chapter.

Los Institut franco-japonaisàYokohama (qué se volvió los français de Institut - Yokohama en 2012) empezaron originalmente en 1990 con el apoyo de la Ciudad de Yokohama como una rama para el Institut franco-japonais en Tokio. It has always strived for local implantation, better conditions and a larger public. En su transición a lo que es ahora el français de Institut - Yokohama en 2012, aunque ganó la independencia administrativa, todavía busca ofrecer actividades complementarias y servicios a aquéllos de Tokio.

The Institute is an official French institution under the authority of the French Embassy in Japan and has 2 main missions. El primero uno está enseñando el idioma francés (el sitio externo). Es básicamente su "d'être del raison." The Institute, with over 20 certified teachers, offers more than 80 different classes to its 3500 inscriptions every year. Not only does it offer French language classes, it also provides other classes ranging from literature to art history and civilization. The Yokohama Institute also publishes a French language magazine called Ah! Bon!? escrito y revisó por los estudiantes y uno de los maestros del Instituto. Teachers are constantly thinking of new ways to improve the program.

La segunda misión está diseminando la cultura francesa (el sitio externo). This is achieved through various events, activities, seminars and special classes one of which I would like to introduce here. El "vivant del Espectáculo" el movimiento (Actuación Viviente) conocido como La Reunión de Representación Artes en Yokohama (TPAM en Yokohama) es una cúspide internacional dedicada a arte de la actuación "viviente" como el teatro, baile y música que tienen lugar en el Teatro de Kanagawa Artes así como en otros sitios de una acción diferentes a lo largo de la ciudad. It showcases shows but also debates and discussions. Much can be expected for the 2012 edition of this ever growing summit. As a matter of fact, the Institute does not merely spread French culture. When setting up programs, there is a real will to meet with partners and build projects with them: rather than merely seeking financial aid or venues, in order to create comprehensive ventures!

Furthermore, one simply cannot overlook the Month of France. It is the only festival in Japan dedicated to French culture and creation in all of its variations: cinema, art, music, dance. Started in 2005, the project is run by the Institute, giving a French touch to the whole city every summer.

A través de su mediatheque (el sitio externo), el Instituto presta también libros, DVDes y CD en idioma francés. More than 2000 items can easily be borrowed or used on-site and the whole library can be browsed using the site which puts the number to 15,000. Should you need a book stored at the Tokyo or Ebisu locations, it can be ordered. Finding this collection has actually brought out my desire to read again!

Among the popular activities is the Cineclub. The Institute presents movies from the French world that would otherwise not have a chance to be shown in Yokohama. It goes without saying that most movies have Japanese subtitles as the aim is to introduce them to the Japanese public. The viewings take place at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music near Bashamichi station of the Minato Mirai line on Saturdays. The theater room offers a great environment with ideal conditions. Furthermore, for the last few films, the Institute has started to rely less on subtitles available at festivals and more on creating their own.

To keep track of everything, there is a Newsletter, which counts some 25,000 subscribers, where you can find information on all upcoming activities. There is also a paper based magazine written and edited by teachers and students from the Institute in Yokohama.

El français de Institut - Yokohama muestra evidencia genuina que está intentando sentar un precedente y la fuerza tendencia que ya representan se liga para volverse un recurso indispensable para Yokohama.
